Risk Management: Outdoor rinks guide now available

Winter transforms municipal spaces into vibrant community hubs, with outdoor ice rinks offering physical activity and fun for all ages. However, ensuring the safety of these rinks requires careful planning and management.

Municipal entities must address various risks associated with operating outdoor ice rinks to prevent injuries, severe harm, or even fatalities.

Alberta Municipalities has developed a guide to help municipalities improve safety measures for outdoor ice rinks as part of our new Risk Management Services: Outdoor Ice Rinks program. We are committed to helping communities deliver a safer experience for residents and visitors alike, while reducing liability exposures for rink operators.

Contact our Risk Services team for access to the guide. Our dedicated team is always ready to assist you. Feel free to contact us, either by riskservices [at] abmunis.ca (email) or by calling 310-MUNI, if you have questions or require guidance on enhancing safety measures.
